Steam straightening warped hafts

I just use the extra corn from my garden and put it in my nutrimill. Makes a fine meal even on the coarse setting. I see you are seiving yours. How do you use the coarse and fine meal?

And apologies to the original poster for going off topic.

The first sceiving or bolting will pull off the chaff and grits. I can then winnow the chaff from the grits after the finer meal is sifted off, and either keep the grits, or regrind them into meal.

I also have a KitchenAid grain mill attachment that grinds the chaff into the meal on the first pass. the C.S. Bell mill has a cone shaped burr. The cone shape actually crushes the grain in the beginning, allowing most of the chaff to be separated from the grain before it moves through the finer end of the burr. I hope I've made sense with my ramblings.
 
With regard to steaming I've read one hour per inch but I just go 20-30 minutes. 1/2 hour is fine.

I leave mine clamped overnight but I've read that 24 hours is recommended.
